    I will be posting this deal before mid day today.

    This is the best quality mini system we have E V E R sold - better than any Onkyo / Denon / Marantz - a real quality serious piece of kit!

    To give you an idea of the lack of plastic in this system - it weighs 23KGs!

    have a look at the specs here:http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/m/mcd908_05/mcd908_05_pss_eng.pdf

    The picture does not do it justice!

    We will Post pricing and quantity available before noon,

    Thanks Boardies as ever,

    John Mc

    If you are in a hurry to grab this great system you could order it from Pixmania as above at £477 (approx €550) - but it might be worth waiting a few hours - our Boardies exclusive offer may be a little bit cheaper. :rolleyes:

    I know it's heavy but what would be the delivery cost (to Tipperary) for this?

    Thanks,

    Jimmy.

    Ok Boardies here we go..

    MCD908

    It's like that hi-fi system when you were a kid that you wanted to buy but could never afford!

    It's built like things never are any more.

    It weighs over 20 Kilos! (a Denon DM37 weighs 3.8 Kg!!)

    It has an amazing V A L V E Amplifier

    It has beautiful Serious 3 way Speakers that use neodymiun Ribbon Tweeters.

    here is the link to the specs:http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/m/mcd908_12/mcd908_12_pss_eng.pdf

    It is a DVD / Tuner FM AM / 2 * 75 Watts juicy piece of kit and we are virtually going to give away 10 of them on a boardies exclusive!

    This system is genuinely excellent value at £499 - I will release 10 of them O N L Y at just £129.95 - thereafter we will charge £199.95 for them.

    If you are interested please post here to be fair to all Boardies and we will contact you via PM to get your contact details.

    I will be away from the PC most of the afternoon so if you don't hear from us until after 6 don't panic!

    Bevause of the size of the packaging and the sheer weight of this unit we have to charge £19.99 if you need the item to be shipped - alternatively they can be collected - once you have a confirmed reservation from either Dublin or Belfast.

    You will N E V E R get a better deal on a top quality micro system. Full Stop!

    Thanks as ever Boardies - we love you!

    Hi guys.

    Dave here. Due to the extremely fast response, I have talked John into letting another 10 go at £169.95 as some people missed the boat.

    Drop us a reply if you are after Donnchaw on the posting list or if you are someone else who just wants a mega bargain !!!!

    Cheers

    Dave

    Aww man,

    I was waiting until 12 for this, then had to go to a meeting, just back now and missed the good deal. Darn it anyway.

    If anyone else backs out at £129, I will join the queue.

    Thanks
    Bazual.

    Hi JoePerry.

    Unfortunately you missed the first 10 but if anyone pulls out then we'll keep you in mind. If not, the £169 price is still a mega deal considering that other retailers are selling in excess of £400 !

    Cheers


    Dave

    Boardies,

    here are the Boardies who have an MCD908 secured at £129.95 - and believe me - that is a stupid price - one of the best deals I have ever done in 16 years at Richer Sounds.

    1. Elainee40
    2. Johndoe77ie
    3. E30i
    4. Rafared
    5. Steveo1983
    6. White dargo
    7. Thehungrysloth
    8. The Ritz
    9. Stef1984
    10. Donnchaw

    Honestly these are the only one I can do at £129.95 - as you will see I asked Dave to release another 10 at £169.95 and we will contact the next 10 posters after Donnchaw to offer them one at that price - otherwise we will flog them in The Philips Shop and Belfast at €249.99 / £199.95 and they will fly at that.

    Thanks again for all your posts and we really do appreciate the business,

    As ever drop me a line to johnmc@richersounds.ie if I can assist in any way.

    John Mc

    Hi John

    Thanks for the opportunity to pick up a genuine bargain. I collect this yesterday evening and set it up this morning and I'm delighted with the sound quality at this price.

    Thanks again

    hi again, the positive feedback is encouraging. i know the system looks great but has anyone been able to compare to the onkyo, denon etc side by side as regards to sound quality as i would be using in the bedroom at low volume. i noticed on the phillips website they mention a wide sonic range but in the pdf manual the frequency response is only 100hz to 16khz which seems narrow. any info etc would be great.
    many thanks , marcus.
    ps. i would like to mention i found richer sounds 15 years ago and have used them ever since, they are always the best :>)
